When it comes to printing to the console as you are doing there is no such character as a "non breaking space" and it is not normally needed since the console normally has a fixed width font and no interpretation is done that can in any way merge groups of spaces into just one space.

P.S. The ASCII characters have a range from 0x00 to 0x7e so 160 is not an ASCII character.

It was printing 160 for the spaces after " = " character in the input string.
